I heard about this swap via another artist's blog and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. As i'd just placed an order for postcards for my forthcoming exhibition I decided to join.
I had to send 5 postcards to America to Kat Sloma of Kat Eyes Studio and then on the allotted day she sorted all the postcards and sent them whinging around the world. I sent extra postcards as well so that the swap helpers wouldn't miss out on all the fun :-) Very many thanks must go to Kat and all the helpers for their work in this years swap - the 6th year!
So far I have heard from Jacinta in Ireland to say that she received my Hebridean Crofthouse postcard and seemed to be very pleased with it :-)
I only returned from my travels to Spain last night and can't pick up my mail until tomorrow - i'm really looking forward to seeing what i've received as part of the swap - i'll update tomorrow - feeling excited! (For update on the cards I received see my post here)
Kat has a website and a Facebook page
Here are the postcards that I sent out (the set of four Camino ones are available as a set in my Etsy shop):-
Camino postcard 1 - old building and flowers
Camino postcard 2 - Lone Olive tree
Camino postcard 3 - The Way
Camino postcard 4 - Sign
Postcard 5 - One of the traditional houses we have here in the Outer Hebrides
Thank you for your kind words Sheila, I'm already looking forward to the swap next year! I would love to side swap with you then - I missed out on all the side-swapping this year as I was away from home!
